Israeli settlement evacuated amid West Bank fires
Several fires broke out in northern the West Bank, leading to the evacuation of the Kdumim and Havat Gil'ad settlements near Nablus, and causing injuries to two firefighters as well as destruction of 13 homes and a warehouse. The fires began in the Kdumim settlement and then spread to Havat Gil'ad. Firefighting efforts were supported by aerial operations involving helicopters and planes, and roads were closed to facilitate rescue operations. The two settlements, one established in 2002 and the other authorized in 2018, are considered illegal under international law, amid ongoing tensions in the region.
